Louis Ostrer, a former insurance broker reputedly tied to organized crime, was sentenced Monday to 20 years in jail and fined $70,000 for evading $6.8 million in federal income taxes.

Federal prosecutors said that between 1965 and 1975, Ostrer created dummy corporations and manipulated bank accounts in New York and Florida to conceal the sources of his income and the $6.8 million from the Internal Revenue Service.

The embezzlment charge stemmed from Ostrer's taking slightly more than $2 million from the pension and welfare fund of Teamsters Local 918 in Brooklyn and investing only $770,000 in insurance, keeping the remainder for himself.
